    Almost any auto parts store has a book with bulb numbers in it. Or, just go on autozone.com -> shopping -> electrical & lighting -> input car info.

    My rear right is out 80% of the time, sometimes its not, should I replace the bulb, or could I have another issue.

    I brought my car to Audi Service last thursday to sort out this problem.

    They said that I indeed had a problem with the brake lights and that they fixed it.

    They also said that they found a problem with my brake master cylinder, so it is being replaced tomorrow.

    I suggest you bring it to the dealership if it is still under warranty!

    You can just pull the bulb out and take it to autozone / strauss and get a replacement for about 5~8 bucks.



    P.s.

    Sorry for the double post

    ^^
    go to your local auto parts store , they'll usually have a guide book with your cars model / parts number. the bulb is honestly no more then $6

    installing the new bulb is really simple as well.

    open your trunk and locate where the tail light should be , you should find a half dollar circle. take a flat head and pull it out , that should reveal a ( + ) screw once you unscrew that gentle wiggle your tail light and the whole tail light should pop put.

    from there undo the tabs that connect the plastic lens to the internal bulb housing. that should give you access to the bulbs. (be careful sometimes the tabs can be brittle)

    (Look at the new bulb you should notice 2 notches metal base of the bulb)be careful when you pull out the bulb you need to have a small flat head to pry it out of the clip holding in the bulb.

    don't try twisting the bulb or pulling on it with force I can guarantee you you'll end up having a finger full of glass shards

    putting everything back should be pretty self explanatory.

    I think they are like 3 bucks from an Audi dealer, last time I was there and saw that when I was leaving a tech grabbed a bunch replaced the burnt on and gave me the rest.
